Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 1 lb baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then slice into 1/2 inch rounds.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the 1 lb cooked octopus into 1/2 inch pieces. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Step 3

    Add the octopus and potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the octopus is heated through and slightly crispy at the edges, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp chili flakes, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1 tsp salt. Toss gently and serve warm.
